Camp happy

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — From the chaos of Daisuke Matzusake (you type that about a hundred times, you can spell it without looking it up), I headed across Florida on Saturday for the peace and tranquility of New York Mets spring training.

( As an aside, can anyone explain why the slowest drivers in Florida clog the left traffic lane? This isn’t limited to older people, either. Had to get that off my chest.)Camp happy. Where Spongebob Squarepants goes when he’s depressed. Where Ruben Sierra can fit in. Where writers can visit the clubhouse anytime.

Yes, anytime. Even during the game. Manager Willie Randolph rarely closes the clubhouse, which isn’t the case for the Red Sox in Fort Myers.

I suppose if the Mets had a Dice-K-type distraction, the attitude would be different.
